Thank goodness we now have headphone choices instead of the giant earmuffs that once were standard -- those are just so goofy-looking. And trust me, I look goofy enough when I'm working out -- I don't need any help. However, with most headphones, you still have to deal with wires. At least, until now.

For this week's giveaway, we are so thrilled to offer the MOTOROKR S-9 Wireless Headset, as you might have seen on The Biggest Loser (or in Fit Gadgets just a couple of weeks ago). It comes with an iPod adapter and works with most Bluetooth-enabled cell phones, so you can listen to your music and take calls, all completely hands (and wires) free! And speaking of free, here's how you can win your own:

• To enter, leave a confirmed comment below telling me what your favorite workout song is.
  
• The comment must be left before 5pm ET on Friday, November 14, 2008.
  
• You may enter only once.
• One winner will be selected in a random drawing.
  
• One winner will receive one Motorola MOTOROKR S9-HD Wireless Headset (valued at $129.99).
• Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, and the District of Columbia who are 18 or older.

Around here, we're fans of The Biggest Loser. While we might not always agree with everything the trainers say, one thing that's tough to dispute is that having the right equipment can go a long way toward staying motivated. Just imagine trying to complete a long run without rocking out to your favorite playlist!

A few weeks ago, The Biggest Loser featured the Motorola MOTOROKR S9-HD headset (check out the video right here), which is a device that allows you to listen to music (or a workout) via Bluetooth while taking hands-free calls from most Bluetooth-enabled cell phones so you won't miss that call about the race coming up next weekend.

The S9-HD wireless stereo headphones offer high-def surround sound with noise-isolating ear buds. Plus, from a girlier standpoint, it goes around the back of your head, low enough that it shouldn't interfere with your ponytail. It also goes over your ears, so it won't slip or move out of place even during the most grueling workout. But it gets even cooler.

Sometimes it is all those little distractions during the day that we curse under our breaths. But distraction is a good method to relieve pain. People use this method without even realizing it when they watch TV or listen to the radio to take their minds off of worry or their pain. Distraction may be used to manage mild pain or used with medicine to help manage episodes of severe pain.

Any activity that occupies your attention can be used for distraction. I personally play the guitar to "take my mind off of pain". Distractions could be doing needlework, model building, painting or diving into a good book. Use your hobbies as a way to focus and distract your attention off of pain. Listening to fast music through a headset or earphones keeps your attention on the music and tapping out a rhythm will help hold your attention away from the pain. Playing video games can be a way to keep your focus off of pain. Distraction can also be internal such as singing mentally to yourself, praying, counting or repeating yourself with statements such as "I can cope" or demand the pain away with statements over and over like "pain leave my body."

Of course the best distraction of all to me is to pop in a favorite movie in the DVD player and get focused on the screen.
